Daniel K. Schneider used this wiki to prepare an introduction to educational technology. The project was delivered, but the text is for Fernuniversität Hagen (Mediadidactics) students only. Below are just the TOCs (sorry). I may write "real" book some day, but this may require copyright negotiations (for reuse of materials), time and a willing editor .... - July 2008 / 2013 / Feb 2019

The About page lists other objectives.

Version 3 (2019, in planning)

Second numbers refer to old chapters.
